Review on Cables Direct Online 6FT S/FTP CAT7 Gold Plated Shielded Ethernet RJ45 Copper Cable 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Patch Cord (6Ft Computer Accessories & Peripherals by Don Taniguchi

In my opinion this cable is worthless with practically no shielding! The photos were taken to make this cable look more durable than it actually is. I'm guessing somewhere in the 28-30 gauge range, which is pretty disappointing for a 200ft run. In fact, I didn't even bother to try it (I'm sure it worked) as the quality put me off so I decided beforehand. Even the case seems cheap (you can actually feel the twisted pairs in your fingers through the case, which makes me doubt there's any shielding at all!). I am definitely not using this product on my network. I'll stick with a product from one of their competitors that is 10x better quality for a similar price! The shielding can be clearly felt through the competitor's cable jacket.
